The eldest lady of the Xie family is going to go to the family temple to pray for the Xie family, and the bag of Lingzhi inquired, of course, she will soon find out, and immediately tell Xie Qing about it.

"Miss, the old lady asked the eldest lady to go to the family temple, shouldn't she really go to pray for blessings?" Lingzhi's face blossomed.

The family temple, which is a place where ancestral tablets are enshrined and has a Buddhist hall, is in extremely simple conditions, and usually the women who are sent there are punished to suffer because they have made mistakes. Most of the women of the family are pampered, how can they endure this hardship.

If you want Xie Ru to go to the family temple to pray for blessings, whether you know the inside story or not, you will feel weird, and it's strange if you don't criticize it.

Xie Qing raised her lips and smiled, and said, "Of course Xie Ru didn't go to pray for blessings, but Old Madam Xie is also really painstaking. ”

Lingzhi and Xiaowan both raised their heads, and the look on their faces was, why is this.

Xie Qing explained: "Old Madam Xie was dissatisfied with Xie Ru's approach, but in the end, Xie Ru was her granddaughter who she had cultivated for many years and valued very much, so she still didn't want to give up like that, so sending Xie Ru to the family temple was actually for her good." ”

"No, in a bitter place like the family temple, Xie Ru will definitely suffer hardship, is this still for her good?" Lingzhi smacked his tongue and said.

A delicate noble daughter of a family, how can she stand this since she was a child.

Xie Qing shook his head with a smile and said, "Although the family temple is hard, this is indeed a good place to think about it. The old lady wants Xie Ru to think about it quietly, if Xie Ru lives up to the old lady's hard work and reflects on herself, the old lady will take Xie Ru back in a beautiful way, and when the time comes, people will only think that the eldest lady of the Xie family is filial piety. ”

The family temple is a place of punishment in the eyes of many people, but people forget that punishment is not the goal, and in the end, people still have to reflect on themselves, change their minds, and reform themselves.

Xiaowan touched his chin and thought about it: "But why does the slave think that this eldest lady is easy to change and her nature is difficult to change?" ”

Lingzhi also nodded and said, "Yes, the slave thinks so too." If the eldest lady really had a little conscience, she would not have dealt with the young lady and the lady again and again. ”

Xie Qing smiled: "Just right, I think so too." This is the third time Xie Ru has attacked me, each time it is more and more vicious and vicious, Xie Ru is probably hopeless. ”

"Miss, do you have such a deep grudge against the eldest lady of the Xie family? Why did she bother to shoot again and again, and she didn't have to breathe? ”

Lingzhi had a bitter face, she really couldn't figure it out, and said in a babbling voice: "Miss didn't do anything to Xie Ru at all, Miss, you didn't treat Xie Ru like you did with the Ye family, why did Xie Ru regard you as a thorn in the flesh?" ”

Xiao Wan said with a cold face: "Xie Ru is not jealous of our young lady, jealous of our young lady's cleverness. ”

From beginning to end, Xie Qing did not be ruthless to Xie Ru, even before she entered the palace, she secretly revealed to Aunt Mei that Xie Ru was Xie Hui, but it was Xie Ru's own doing, which she deserved.

Lingzhi's eyes widened, and she exclaimed: "No, it's because of jealousy, so she wants to use such a ruthless move, and she makes one move after another, without taking a breath, it feels like she wants to kill our young lady." ”

Xie Qing shook his head and sneered: "Don't underestimate a woman's jealousy, Xie Ru is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyong, whether it is the Xie family or Concubine Xie Shu, they all have high hopes for her, she has a halo since she was a child, and she is full of superiority, she does not allow anyone to fight with her, and my appearance is really an eyesore for her, so she must get rid of me, so she can rest assured." ”

Lingzhi frowned: "Then she doesn't need to use such a vicious trick, she is jealous of you, but what does this have to do with Madame, Madame's temperament is peaceful, she doesn't fight or grab, where to offend her." ”

Xiaowan knocked on Lingzhi's head and said, "You are stupid, Xie Ru can't do anything about our miss, so he will take action at Mrs. and pinch our miss." Mrs. has a peaceful temperament, but in Xie Ru's eyes, Mrs. gave birth to Miss, which is the biggest mistake. ”

In terms of flexible mind, Xiao Wan is really not as good as Lingzhi, but Xiao Wan has been with Xie Qing for a longer time, and his thoughts about these women are more transparent.

Xie Qing nodded: "Xiaowan, you're right, I suddenly came out and caused a lot of people to be red-eyed, not just Xie Ru." Xie Ru's move made me realize a problem, it is inevitable that someone will start from my mother. Xiaowan, if you encounter danger in the future, you must protect my mother every step of the way, as you did this time. ”

Xiaowan and Lingzhi both frowned, and Xiaowan shook his head: "Miss, what should you do?" Little Bend's mission is to protect you. ”

Her master is Xie Qing, she is a secret guard, and the purpose is to protect Xie Qing.

"If you protect my mother, you are protecting me, and I will find a way to get out of danger." Xie Qing said, "You are my maid, you should obey my arrangement and protect my mother, otherwise you will be derelict in your duty." ”

Xiaowan gritted her teeth, she wanted to refuse, but Xie Qing's cold eyes made her dare not speak, and finally she could only nod: "Yes, the subordinates obey the order." ”

At the same time, Xiao Wan and Lingzhi silently exchanged glances, Lingzhi nodded slightly, Xiao Wan wanted to protect Mrs. Lin, then Miss had to hand over Lingzhi to her. Lingzhi is also a secret guard, but he is not good at martial arts, but more brains. The two had already made a decision in an instant, Xiao Wan would strengthen the practice of Lingzhi, so that she had the ability to protect Xie Qing.

However, Xie Qing didn't notice the thoughts of these two maids, she was thinking about things in her heart, and her fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.

Suddenly, he asked, "Where is Aunt Mei now?" ”

Lingzhi replied: "The old lady ordered someone to lock Aunt Mei in the firewood room, but she personally sent someone to guard it, and no one was allowed to approach Aunt Mei. ”

Xie Qing thought for a while and said, "Lingzhi, you go with me to see Aunt Mei." Little Bend, you keep good care of Madame. ”

Firewood room

Mrs. Xie sent two mothers-in-law to guard Aunt Mei, but this did not bother Xie Qing, and she went over quietly directly, and the two mothers-in-law yawned a few times, but fell asleep.

The door opened slightly, but the people inside did not notice. Aunt Mei sat on the ground in a daze, not asleep, her eyes were open, as if she was in a daze.

"Aunt May." Xie Qing walked in and called her again, and she reacted.

"Fifth Miss?" Aunt Mei's tone was a little more calm, "Fifth Miss, if you are here to ask the truth, I can tell you, but it doesn't make any sense." ”

Xie Qing's eyebrows raised slightly, Aunt Mei had such a calm attitude, Xie Qing had to look at her a little differently.

"Then tell me all the truths you know." Xie Qingwan said with a smile.

Aunt Mei replied: "It was you who told me that Hui'er was driven to the family temple because Xie Ru was making trouble behind my back, so I stabbed this matter in front of the master, I thought that I had served the master for so many years, and there was no merit and hard work, I thought the master would give our mother and daughter justice, but as a result, Xie Ru had nothing to do, and I was scolded." ”

Thinking of these things, Aunt Mei's eyes reddened: "Xie Ru told me that she is the eldest lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, the eldest daughter, and the future princess Yi, she will not have a stain on her, so even if I find out the evidence, no one will believe it, and no one will punish her for such a trivial matter." ”

Xie Qing sighed lightly, Xie Ru was really ruthless enough in order to maintain her dignified and virtuous image.

"Later, Xie Ru told me that if I help her do something, she can let Hui'er come back, I really can't help it, if I don't agree, Hui'er will never come back, so I can only agree." Aunt Mei cried and said, "You know the rest of the matter, Xie Ru said that Du Hou Ye would pass by on the road, and as soon as I saw Du Hou Ye coming, I began to cry as a signal to startle the horse, but let Du Hou Ye save people." However, Du Houye likes women who have been married, so the person Xie Ru wants to calculate is your mother Lin. ”

Aunt Mei frowned tightly: "Although I don't know why Xie Ru wants to calculate the Lin family, but since she said it, I have to do it." ”

"Sure enough." The corners of Xie Qing's lips hooked up a sneer, "Xie Ru wants my mother to provoke Du Houye, and then the Xie family will inevitably not tolerate my mother, and I will inevitably fall out with the Xie family for my mother, and then the Xie family will no longer have Xie Qing, only her Xie Ru." ”

"That's all you know?" Xie Qing asked, "Xie Ru is thoughtful, she must have a trick." ”

Aunt Mei thought for a while: "I don't know about this, Xie Ru thinks I'm stupid, so I don't want to tell me anything else, but I seem to have heard Xie Ru mention it by chance, and Shuiyue Nunnery has also arranged it." ”

"What's arranged over there?" Xie Qing continued to ask.

Aunt Mei shook her head: "I really don't know about this, Xie Ru didn't tell me anything else." ”

"Then Xie Ru has any dealings with other people?"

Aunt Mei still shook her head: "No, I haven't seen it, probably not." ”

Xie Qing's eyes were slightly condensed, Aunt Mei knew too few things, and said lightly: "Aunt Mei, do you know why Xie Ru asked you to do this, but didn't tell you all the plans?" ”

Aunt Mei bit the corner of her lip and didn't speak.

"Therefore, her decision from the beginning was to push you out, once my mother's reputation is damaged, it will be a shame for the Xie family, the old lady will not give up, she will definitely send someone to investigate, then your Aunt Mei will definitely be found out, Xie Ru has Xie Hui in her hand, then you will not dare to tell the truth, you can only carry all the things." Xie Qing explained.

"Kill two birds with one stone!" Aunt Mei gritted her teeth and said. Xie Ru's plan not only drove Xie Qing away, but also got rid of Aunt Mei.

Xie Ru wanted to attack Xie Qing because she was jealous, and she wanted Aunt Mei to be a scapegoat, I am afraid that first, it was to save herself trouble, and secondly, it was probably because Xie Ru thought that Aunt Mei had moths from time to time for Xie Hui, and she was annoyed.
